NEW r. r. TO LHWIeTON.

A correspondent Of the B, Republican
from Weiser City has the following,
which is corroborated BY an extract, We
take from the Weiser Leader:
WElsER,. idaho, March II.
Ed. Republican - eiser may soon
be expected to have Z big boom. Late
last fall the U. p. Railroad Co., made q
preliminary survey up the Weiser river
via Salmon Meadows, and thence on
towards Lewiston. Later, the same
company have been making survey
from Ontario through the Malheur
county, in Oregon. The party have
finished their labor on that route, and
have now arrived at this place. Mr..
Clark, the head construction engineer Of
the u. p. Co., in conversation with one
Of our most prominent citizens, said
1--WE have been ordered here to locate
the route" Perhaps you don't know
what that means, but do. 1t means
that construction will soon follow.
Mr.. Clark is the engineer who located
the o. s. L., and subsequently made q
survey down the Snake river, and he
evidently knows what he is talking about
y
The mines in this viciassy have hith.
erto been very backward about coming
forward" but during the past winter
there have been several important sale,
made, both in the Heath district and il
what is known as the "Seven Devils
district, and several large mills and
furnaces are to DO erected the coming
summer.
We understand the route, over which
the location will BE- made, is the on,
examined BY Col. Curtis and engines
Lew Blickensderfer last summer. Thi
was up the Weiser, over the low divid,
between Weiser and Little Salmon, dowl
the latter TO main Salmon, and down tn
latter to near the mouth Of White Bir'
or to Rocky Canon, thence up and on t
Camas Prairie, and on to Lewiston eithe
via Clearwater or Craig's mountain.

A FLOP.

The Wood River Miner, like all other
weather cocks, attempts to flop with the
wind. After learning Of the passage Of
the annexation bill, it admitted its
business and propriety Of its passage.
The following is his publication on learn
ing Of the veto. We give it with its
head lines and caption:

from conversations with the late Mt

Airing Rooms.

1t is sgreat mistake that the whole
house, particularly sleeping rooms and
the dining-room, receive SO little atten-
ton in yentilating and purifying the all,
when it can be done with so little trouble
and no expense. A pitcher OF cold water
placed on table or bureau will absorb
all the gasses with which the room is filled
from the respiration OF those eating or
sleeping in the apartment. Very few
realize how important such publication Is
for the health Of the family, or, indeed
anderstend or realize that there can be
any impurity in the rooms, yet in few
hours pitcher or pail Of cold water-the
colder the more effective--will make tie
air OF the room pure, but the water will be
entirely unfit for use.
In bedrooms pail or pitcher OF water
should be always kept, and changed often
ifany one stays In the room during the
day, certainly be put in fresh when the
inmates retire. Such water should never
be drank, but either q covered pitcher or
glass bottle with q stopper should be used
for drinking water and always be kept
closely covered. Impure water causes
more sickness than even impure air, and
for that reason, before using water from
pump or reservoir for drinking or cooking,
one should pump or draw ont enough to
clear the pipes before using it, particularly
in the morning, after the water has been
standing In the pipes all night. Farm and
Eireside.

Spring Farm Cleaning.

While the wife cleans the house, let the

they not only breathe the fouled air, but
